 How I Started using gaming energy drinks and supplements

As a competitive gamer, I have the most expensive gear to give me an edge, I have the 240hz monitor paired with a monster of a PC and have done everything I can to boost my performance while playing.

Even with the most expensive gear, there is no guarantee that you will be good, of course, a lot of it has to do with practice, mindset, and skill.

However, on your off days when your focus is off, you are not hitting those shots and are tired or maby tilted it's good to have a supplement that can kick you back into gear.

A supplement that increases energy, reduces stress, boosts focus, and brain functions to give you an edge over other players.

I myself have been gaming for 10+years and used energy drinks before I switched out to supplements that are more geared towards gamers.

To tell you little about myself I am a very high ranked competitive Overwatch player (4500SR+), I play in a team and have to perform every time I go into a match.

I've also been ranked top 50 in PUBG, global elite in CS: GO, even champion in rocket league.

So I am definitely a serious gamer looking for every way possible to enhance my performance.

I've found that some supplements do really work to give me a laser-sharp focus, increase reflexes, give me clean long-lasting energy and simply get me into the zone which gives me the confidence to hit those flick shots and dominate the competition.

To be honest, I'll take every advantage I can get, and using supplements is a huge advantage only a few players really use.

What to look for in a gaming supplement

As a guy that trains five times in the week in the gym, I've been using and studying pre-workout supplements for years now.

I found out that many of the ingredients in pre-workouts can seriously boost performance while gaming.

That's when I started researching more and found out very interesting things about these types of supplements.

You see some of the pre-workout supplements contain ingredients that increase energy, brain function, focus, alertness which gives you a serious advantage while gaming.

After experimenting I found out what ingredients work the best for gaming.

  • Caffeine and L-theanine combination

Using caffeine alone will increase energy, but when you use caffeine and L-theanine together you will get long-lasting, smooth energy without a crash.

It gives you that calm energy and laser-sharp focus without the jitters you get when you use an energy drink that only has caffeine in it.

The L-Theanine balances the caffeine perfectly so you will not feel the side-effects as badly that are associated with using caffeine alone.

Make sure you use a 1x1 ratio of l-theanine and caffeine for optimal results.

  • Green tea leaf extract

A very interesting ingredient that boosts brainpower, memory, really gets you in the zone and helps you make the right decisions when playing.

  • Coconut water powder

Contain a lot of electrolytes that help you stay hydrated in the longest and grueling gaming sessions. Hydration is really important when gaming guys.

  • Acetyl-L-Carnitine

Helps improve mood and brain function. Which are quite important factors when gaming. It may even help you to get less tilted so you stay calm even in the most frustrating games.

  • L-Tyrosine

L-Tyrosine helps increase mental performance in stressful situations, which is ideal for that clutch you need to pull off to win the game.

Best Gaming Energy Drink and Supplement

Most supplements that are made especially for gaming completely miss the mark, most of them contain low dosages with pathetic ingredients.

That's why you may be better off with a pre-workout formula that contains the ingredients you are looking for since many of them really work for gaming.

Some pre-workout supplements are dosed to the max with quality stuff while the gaming supplements I've seen sold online contain low dosed proprietary blends that do not list exact doses of ingredients.

The problem with using a pre-workout for gaming is that you may get some ingredients that really do not help you whilst gaming.

However in my experience that doesn't matter if you are getting the ingredients you want in the right dosages.

What has worked best for me is to use half a scoop of the pre-workout Prefierce before gaming.

That way you can use half a scoop twice per day if your gaming sessions are long without experiencing any of the side effects associated with caffeine.

It has the 1 to 1 ratio of caffeine and l-theanine combination along with acetyl-l-carnitine, coconut water powder, and green leaf tea extract in optimal doses.

Which are perfect for gaming.

It's a supplement that really gives me that sharp focus, alertness, smooth energy, and just gives me an edge.

Prefierce contains most of the best ingredients for gaming in optimal doses and the good thing is that half a scoop will be enough and you are still able to feel the difference it makes.

That's why I use it for gaming on a regular basis.

Hope you guys learned more about gaming energy drinks, supplements and who knows I might compete against you in some game in the future.
